Hello Kitty wil be released as a hybrid DVD with English and Japanese audio tracks and English subtitles.
The classic 1966 Marine Boy TV series will be airing on The Anime Network. Dark Water has joined the list of manga titles ADV will be releasing.
In response to audience questions, the ADV studio representatives referenced the recent hiring of Steven Buck to direct the ADV Films Theatrical Division and mentioned that over 30 films ADV has the rights to are currently "in queue" for potential theatrical release.
When answering another question, it was stated that, given the success of The Anime Network, titles ADV has acquired will frequently be made available on The Anime Network prior to DVD release.
